It is never your fault and it is never okay for someone to hurt you. Ever. Perpetrators have many ways to make you feel like it’s your fault, but it never is.

Women, girls, transgender, non-binary & two-spirit folks experience unacceptable amounts of gender-based violence. Society often silences the voices of victims, but there are places you can go for support.

The Women's Advocate helps women assess their options at times of crisis. She helps with basic services - financial, legal, social, housing and employment – while supporting women to trust in their own judgment, and make positive decisions for themselves.

The Health Centre is unique in its integration of programming that forms a continuous stream from pre-birth to death.

We have four counsellors providing services to children, youth, adults, couples, families, and elders. Counselling is free and confidential. You can come in by yourself, or bring a family member or a friend. You could also ask one of the other Health Centre staff or nurses to introduce you to a counsellor. You could also be referred by another person in the community.

Come by during Health Centre hours or call 668-7289 for an appointment.

Together for Safety Videos

During a crisis, it’s helpful to know which options are available and what each one could look like. With this information, we can make a decision about what’s right for us.

As part of the Together for Safety protocol, six Whitehorse women’s groups and Whitehorse RCMP created a 3-part video series. The series helps people who have been victims of sexualized assault or domestic violence navigate the process and find support.

Knowing what to expect is an important part of making an informed choice.

Remember: you have the right to choose the best option for you in your life.
